„Coaching is an interactive process that helps individuals and organizations to develop more rapidly and produce more satisfying results.“
– International Coaching Federation
In this interactive process, the coach establishes an interactive relationship with the client. By active leading, the coach improves the client’s skills and “pulls out” his best.
The coach and the client set the goal (the desired result) and the coach leads the client towards achieving that goal. With an accurate set of questions, the client is always directed towards his goal, and his coach provides support the whole time.
The coach is responsible for:
Discovering, clarifying and agreeing on what the client wants to achieve
Encouraging the client for self-discovery
Maintaining the client’s responsibility for achieving his goals
Benefits for client:
Achieving the greatest possible results
Revealing all of his/her potential
Creativity development
Clearly setting goals
Achieving balance
Also, the client should be:
Dedicated, open, persistent, curious
Actively listen and learn during all processes
Actively participate in building a relationship with the coach
Open and responsible to himself and to his goals
